During the Vietnam War, if the teenagers were from wealthy, influential families then they didn't get drafted, go to war in a foreign country, and very likely never come home again. I'm simplifying but this song reminds me of them. This was the music for them...for their time. That said I love CCR's music.

[@TheTaffia]

They ended up in the coast guard or on a base in the USA all the way thru the Vietnam war. In the American civil war you could buy yourself out of the draft for 300 bucks, poor people had no chance of doing that, so off they went.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Ooooo, love me some CCR. Living as a young hippie teen in 1975, 76. I was obcessed, but most of us were. They have that perfect blusey southern rock sound for a bunch of guys from California. As soon as I was old enough we protested the Vietnam War at age 13 and 14, this was big during that time. We protested mainly about the treatment our soldiers as they came home. It was appalling how they were treated after being drafted so young (from ages 15 to 20), forced into war. Most were poor kids forced to fight in something most didnt believe in, then came home to the worst abuse, calling them baby k!llers, shunning them, etc. I salute the Vets. Thanx so much, Peace

[@IAT1964]

The sad thing is that a lot of soldiers did abhorrent things - war crimes. However the anger should be directed to the fat cats in washington who had their hands figuratively dripping in blood and literally making money off these wars.

Songs back then had to be around the 3 minute length for radio play on AM stations.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It may be a long band name but most people just referred to them as CCR, or sometimes, Creedence. CCR had so many hits, and they are one of those bands where I literally like every song that they've ever done. And they always had that signature Creedence sound, but yet there's such a huge variety in not only their catalog, but in all the hits that they had as well. Run Through the Jungle has been used in lots of movies and it was a huge hit. I bet you would absolutely love it, and it's longer, so you have time to really get into the groove and the texture and the mood of it. It's a pretty intense song. For something longer still, another of their big hits, Born on the Bayou really has this relentless swampy groove to it.

[@lewistasso8866]

Many think this song was about Americans being proud of the USA. Not true!! It was a protest song about rich and famous kids being able to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War. If you were poor or an average person and your draft number was called, you went to Vietnam. "Some folks are born made to wave the flag, hoo, they're red, white and blue, and when the band plays "Hail to the Chief "Ooh, they point the cannon at you." Also, "some folks inherit star-spangled eyes, hoo, they send you down to war, and when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more."

A lot of CCR songs have appeared in films, though "Fortunate Son" is probably the one used the most (especially in Vietnam War-based movies). Drummer Kenny Aronoff said when he was a kid reading a Hulk comic Credence came on the radio & he thought if The Hulk sang that's what he'd sound like! Years later Kenny got to record on Forgerty's "Blue Moon Swamp" album and toured with John between gigs with John Mellencamp and Bob Seger in the mid 90's. Forgerty's "The Old Man Down The Road" is an awesome song from his solo career.

[@teresacartwright5406]

CCR had a long string of hit records including "Run Through the Jungle", "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Have you Even seen the rain" & renditions of "Heard it through the grapevine" & "Travelin' Band". "Fortunate Son" was one of the most played anti-Vietnam war songs and it's been used in a lot of war movies.

Was late to the live chat. First song I ever remember was CCR Lookin out my Backdoor. As a US Southerner, blew my mind when I found out they were from California.

[@TenMinuteTrips]

Greetings again from San Francisco! “Fortunate Son” is one of, if not THE greatest anti-Viet Nam war protest songs, EVER!!! It’s usually found accompanying film taken from UH-1D helicopters, often from a door gunner’s point of view. This song also accompanies film of napalm being dropped on jungles and hillsides. The point of the song is that if you came from money, it was easy to avoid being drafted and sent to Viet Nam. College deferments were easily obtained, and since poor or average middle class kids were likely not attending college or university, they were the first to go. Donald Trump got out of being drafted because he allegedly had bone spurs. Presumably from playing too much tennis. How many poor kids play tennis? “Fortunate Son,” along with all of CCR’s albums, was recorded at the Fantasy Records studio in Berkeley, California. This was also the recording location for Jouney’s “Escape” album and Green Day’s “Dookie” album. According to Wikipedia, Fantasy Studios permanently closed in 2018. Sad. Such music history should live forever. Thanks for checking out the music that I grew up with.

The great John Fogerty of Creedance--fantastic, unmistakable vocal, guitar and songwriter. See other songs: "Born on the Bayou", "Traveling Band", "Bad Moon Rising", "Who'll Stop the Rain?", "Proud Mary"--but definitely NOT a southern band. They were pure late-60s, early 70s California band--members met at Portola Junior High School (roughly 7th-9th grade, ages about 13-16) in El Cerrita, California.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

The members of Creedence Clearwater Revival were from El Cerrito, California, across the bay from San Francisco. Their sound is called "swamp rock," though none of them was from the south. John Fogerty, the lead guitarist and vocalist, affected a Louisiana accent. The song is about the Vietnam War and the draft. Military service was supposed to be universal, but the sons of the wealthy and well-connected were protected from having to serve. It was mainly the poor and middle class who fought and died in that war. CCR were a hit machine from 1968 through 1972, when they broke up because they weren't getting along with each other. Somehow during that time they never had a #1 hit, though they had several #2 hits. Some of their best: Proud Mary Bad Moon Rising Green River Down on the Corner Travelin' Band Who'll Stop the Rain Up Around the Bend Run Through the Jungle Lookin' Out My Back Door Long As I Can See the Light Have You Ever Seen the Rain Lodi I Heard It Through the Grapevine The Midnight Special I Put a Spell on You Cotton Fields

This came out during the Vietnam War. Still relevant today! Credence has been on my bucket list to see again. Finally getting to see John Fogerty (lead singer, guitarist, songwriter) again in August at The Thunder Valley Venue in Northern California. His sons now play with him. The band itself broke up in 1972 over John’s dispute with the record label, who refused to let him buy back his own songs. He waited the 20 years until copyrights expired to get his songs back. Interesting enough, John is from Modesto, a town in the Central Valley of California. Neither he nor his parents were ever from a Southern state? He’s always sounded like he was born in the Southern States of the U.S.

They also did covers like Suzie Q, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, and I Put a Spell on You. Yep its southern rock. This song was in Forest Gump. John Fogerty is the vocalist. Hes a legendary vocalist in classic rock. This is anti-war song but very patriotic. Its a style called roots rock. A style influenced by folk, country, and blues as opposed to psychedelic rock like the Beatles and the Doors. If you need Southern Rock...

My favorite CCR song is Lodi. CCR is from Northern California and I think you have to be from here to truly appreciate the song. Give it a try.

Oh man Bad Moon Rising, Born on the Bayou, Proud Mary, Run through the Jungle, Have you ever seen the rain-all bangers

[@robertbunting3117]

For more these guys 'Proud Mary' and 'Run Through the Jungle'. Z.Z. Top should also be put on your list some place they're considered "blues rock, hard rock, boogie rock, Southern rock, blues, and Texas blues". Songs like 'La Grange' 'Tube Snake Boogie' ' Sharp Dressed Man' are good places to start. Especially 'La Grange' phenomenal stuff.

It was our anthem in the 70’s against the Vietnam war , it was only the poor that got shipped off to die overseas . We had it , 🖕protests San Francisco & Berkeley riots getting tear-gassed and beaten down . We weren’t the fortunate ones - “ when they ask you how much you should give they only answer is more , more , more “. Lost a lot of friends 18-20 years old .

My brother in law was killed in Cambodia at the end of the war and this song could have been made just for him also.its one of my favorites.😊

CCR is an amazing band with so many hits. Keep em coming Molly.

This song is every Vietnam veterans anthem God bless all is survivors and those that didn’t

CCR is truly great. Not exactly southern (they are from California), but the sound they craft is that of the Louisiana Bayou. SOOOO many great tunes from them (and you're sure to know at least a couple of then from use in movies, commercials, etc.). Check out "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" next.

"Long As I Can See The Light," by Creedence Clearwater Revival is FIRE!!! You MUST REACT TO!

[@Mike80528]

Used to live just outside of Lodi and would play "Stuck in Lodi again" whenever we'd run out as a family to Lodi to see a movie. They had a really nice, new theater...lol

[@DorothyFarias]

They were affectionately known as CCR. Great reaction.

[@user-mo2lf4br4d]

CCR - Have you ever seen the rain, is another great one.

[@donnacorey5682]

Ive been in love with this band for 54 years. There are a million killer songs 😮i could suggest you react to but lets start with with these, I Put A Spell On You, Born On The Bayou, Ramble Tamble, Keep On Chooglin'.

[@Iamwhateyeam]

The opening riff always reminds me of I'm a soul man James Brown. I know it's not the same but my brain goes there 😂

[@theOGnokk]

Despite all our problems here in USA it really is the best place to live still.

You spent much time in other developed countries? Not a challenge. Just asking.

[@AudsVids]

This is an amazing song. There are lots of songs about Vietnam just like other wars inspired poets. Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel makes me cry everytime. As another commenter mentioned below the average age of soldiers was 19 and Paul Hardcastle has a song called 19 that talks about that. Also with all wars it's never the rich people/politcian's kids who get deployed.

[@FishKungfu]

Great reaction! This is played in the closing credits of "Battleship (2012)". I'm sure it's probably been used in many other movies but Battleship is awesome and it's where I remember it.

[@petenieto1575]

It definitely has that southern rock sound, but those guys are from the North. Specifically, Detroit, Michigan. Great reaction!

[@jeffreymcrae3853]

YES! 🙌 C. C. R. 😃 their music brings me back to my childhood 😊 with many great hits there is no shortage of hits to listen to 😁 I heard it through the grapevine, LODI, Bad moon rising, Suzie Q are just a few songs from their greatest hits 😎
